Structure, governance and management
The charity is a company registered in Scotland and limited by guarantee incorporated under the Companies Act 2006. The company has been registered as a Scottish charity since 2 October 2013.
The detailed rules regarding the appointment, term of office and compulsory retiral of trustees are set out in Section 8 of the Memorandum and Articles of Association.
Training is given to trustees as and when required. OSCR guidance and updates are shared with trustees when available.
When new trustees are elected the Society makes them aware of their responsibilities, the governing document, administrative procedures and the history of the charity.
Objectives and activities
The objectives and activities of the charity are:
(a) to promote the history, heritage and sentiment of the Clan Donnachaidh in Scotland and elsewhere in the world;
(b) to promote education of the public generally and conduct educational research programmes, produce publications and create other materials conducive to the objects;
(c) to provide, maintain and administer facilities for the advancement of education and for the conservation and preservation of the lands, buildings, traditions, museum, records, and artefacts of whatever nature relating to the Clan Donnachaidh;
(d) to encourage, sustain and support educational establishments and other charitable bodies by giving from time to time grants, prizes, subscriptions and donations; and
(e) to do anything as will further the attainment of these Objectives, except that the members of the Trust will not be permitted to do anything political or sectarian in their capacity as members of the Trust or which will cause the Trust to cease being recognised as a charity in Scotland.
Achievements and performance
During the Year ended 31 December 2025, the Society made progress against its primary objectives. The Society hosted both a smaller spring gathering and the annual Clan Gathering in August 2025, based in and around Clan Lands and Pitlochry. The latter Clan Gathering was well attended by both regular and, pleasingly, new clan members. A week long series of events, with a new "Fun Day" based at the Clan Museum to celebrate, which included an informal lunch with Council members, a walk up Bruar Falls, and the opportunity to purchase Clan merchandise. The event aimed at providing an early opportunity in the week to connect with clan members and put focus onto the Society's existing assets, and will be repeated in future years. Additionally, events including the annual Kirk Service and a new "Walk around the Kirk" were held, again with the intention of raising awareness and sharing clan history with attendees.
Further afield, the Society continued to receive positive updates from branches on events and games attended. Council believes the branches have a significant role to play in the Society's future, with the majority of interest and support for the Society coming from overseas. The Society believes that maintaining a positive relationship with each branch, fostered by the International Vice Chair, as well as each branch being well run, inclusive and properly governed, underpins ongoing support for the Society in general.
In 2024, we reported that the Society was a grateful recipient of a generous legacy from a clan member based in the USA. We had anticipated receiving the funds in full during the FY25 year, however, that has not materialised as it has taken longer for the executors to liquidate the estate than originally anticipated. During the year, Council explored options for improvements at Bruar and for the Kirk, however, due to increased build costs, it was agreed to scale back its plans. The Society continues to to maintain close contact with the executors and is confident that funds will be made available in due course.
It remains the Council's intention to upgrade the Clan Museum which benefits from extremely buoyant footfall rates and therefore has great potential to attract both local and international visitors. In delivering an improved experience at the Museum and through the website which was launched in FY2024, Council is confident it can fulfill its objectives in future years.
Financial review
The Society received an initial payment of £77,965 from a legacy of a former member from the United States. This is being administered by the Atholl Rannoch Society and has been gifted specifically for assisting the activities of the Clan Museum. Other cash donations were £1,760 (2024: £6,231), which have reduced after the Struan Kirk was acquired by the Society last year.
The largest ongoing source of income continued to be the letting of property at Bruar, which produced rent of £18,696 (2024: £18,696). Clan Gathering income increased to £5,114 (2024: £2,659) but was applied fully to similarly increased expenditure on this event. Other sources produced income levels similar to the previous year. Total income for the year was £129,895 (2024: £416,747, including £364,282 for acquisition of Struan Kirk).
Total expenditure for the year increased to £83,094 (2024: £50,330). Within this, repairs and maintenance increased to £8,939 (2024: £1,134), largely due to the cost of decorating work on the interior of Struan Kirk. There was also an increase in legal and professional fees to £18,944 (2024: £4,156), comprised mainly of surveying and architects fees incurred in investigating options for developing the Clan Centre at Bruar. The other main categories seeing an increase were goods purchased for resale, payroll costs, and Clan Gathering expenses.
Listed investments held by the Society made a gain in value of £22,897 (2024: gain of £2,652).
The overall result for the year was net income of £69,698 (2024: net income of £369,069) which increased total funds to £1,156,089 (2024: £1,086,391).
Of total funds, the amount ring-fenced for specific purposes at 31 December 2025 was £148,133 (2024: £82,403). A detailed analysis of all funds is shown in note 23 to the financial statements.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Clan Donnachaidh Society
Year ended 31 December 2025
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Clan Donnachaidh Society ('the charity') for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 (‘the 2005 Act’), the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’). You are satisfied that the accounts of the company are not required by charity or company law to be audited and have chosen instead to have an independent examination.
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 44(1)(c) of the 2005 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed the requirements of Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). Independent examiner's statement
Since the charity is required by company law to prepare its accounts on an accruals basis and is registered as a charity in Scotland your examiner must be a member of a body listed in Regulation 11(2) of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of ICAS which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act, section 44(1)(a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations; or
2. the financial statements do not accord with those records or with the accounting requirements of Regulation 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006; or
3. the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Year ended 31 December 2025
1. General information
The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in Scotland and a registered charity in Scotland. The address of the registered office is 51 Atholl Road, Pitlochry, Perthshire, PH16 5BU.
2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.
3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity. Rounding of monetary values throughout the financial statements has been completed to the nearest pound sterling.
Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. No significant judgements, estimates or assumptions were made in this period.
Foreign currencies
Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the average exchange rate applying in the month in which transactions fall. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate ruling at the reporting date, with any gains or losses being taken to the statement of financial activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the purposes of the charity. Restricted funds are subject to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor.
Incoming resources
Income All income is included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income, any performance related conditions attached have been met or are fully within the control of the charity, the income is considered probable and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income. Donations and legacy income is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable. Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant. Donations of trading stock are valued using current unit costs. Donations of other non-financial assets are, in the absence of a professional valuation, included at market value according to the best judgement of the trustees. Investment income is included when receivable. Income from charitable trading activity is accounted for when earned. This includes fundraising income and income from attendees at the AGM Dinner. Income from membership subscriptions is treated according to the duration of membership: annual subscriptions are recognised when received; 5 Year subscriptions are apportioned over 5 years and the appropriate annual amounts recognised as they fall due; Lifetime subscriptions are apportioned over 10 years. The balance of 5 Year and Lifetime membership income not brought into income by the end of any one year is accounted for as deferred income within creditors.
Resources expended
Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates:
Costs of raising funds comprise the costs associated with attracting donations, grants and legacies and the costs of trading for fundraising purposes.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
Tangible assets
All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Fixtures and fittings
-
15% reducing balance
Computer equipment
-
25% straight line
Investments
Unlisted equity investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently measured at fair value. If fair value cannot be reliably measured, assets are measured at cost less impairment.
Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in income or expenditure.
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
Stocks
Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Where investments in shares or preference shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment. Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised. For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks.
Investment property
Investment properties are revalued on a regular basis at their fair values in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102. The surplus or deficit on revaluation is transferred to the statement of financial activities.
No depreciation is provided in respect of such properties. Although the Companies Act 2006 would normally require the systematic annual depreciation of fixed assets it is believed that this policy of not providing depreciation is necessary for the accounts to give a true and fair view, since the current value of investment properties, and changes in that current value, are of prime importance rather than a calculation of systematic annual depreciation. Depreciation is only one of the many factors reflected in the annual valuation, and the amount which might otherwise have been shown cannot be separately identified or quantified.
4. Limited by guarantee
The liability of each member in the event that the company is wound up is limited to £1.

Tangible fixed assets held at valuation
The investment property is comprised of the land and buildings of the Clan Centre, situated at Bruar, and the land and buildings of Struan Kirk. The Bruar property was valued on 23 January 2019 by Graham & Sibbald, Chartered Surveyors. The trustees are of the opinion that the property value at the year end is not significantly different from that valuation. Struan Kirk has been included in the accounts at the valuation used for insurance purposes in 2024 when acquired, plus legal fees on acquisition. A professional valuation has not yet been carried out.
In respect of tangible fixed assets held at valuation, the aggregate cost, depreciation and comparable carrying amount that would have been recognised if the assets had been carried under the historical cost model are as follows:

The Genealogy Fund is maintained to fund the costs of research into the genealogy of the Clan.
The Educational Fund has been formed from the assets of the Clan Donnachaidh Educational Trust, which amalgamated with the Society towards the end of 2016. This fund will be applied in line with the objectives of that former Trust.
The Struan Kirk Fund holds donations and other income received for the renovation and maintenance of Struan Kirk. Expenses of running the Kirk are set against this fund up to the available balance.
The Atholl Rannoch Society Fund represents a legacy from a trust set up in 2003 by the late Mary Elsie Robertson, a former member of the Society. The gift was made to the Rannoch Atholl Society, which is administering funds to ultimately benefit the purposes of the Clan Donnachaidh Museum. A first instalment was received this year.
